Chapter 194 Impact (Part 2)
The next day, Li Yanqing's tense mood finally eased a bit.
He was under a lot of stress lately, which is why he thought of having a drink to relax.
The impact of Quinn's incident on the team extends far beyond just him personally.
It was because Barker stayed at the club to deal with various media and club officials that Li Yanqing was able to visit the tavern last night.
When he finally woke up and checked his phone, he found hundreds of messages.
Most of them were issued by Barker.
"There's something new."
"Someone wants your contact information, saying they need to contact you directly for something."
"There was also an interview with Miss Maggie. She came to the club, but she didn't see you."
"Are you there?"
"Answer me, you bastard..."
It's clear that Barker had a very unpleasant workday yesterday.
“Barker, I’m here.”
"Where's Chris? Why don't we just send him to greet Miss Maggie?"
"As for other media outlets, just reject them all."
Li Yanqing returned the call.
"Oh, you're finally awake!"
Chris is accompanying Robinson on a business trip!
"I only remembered this after you took leave!"
Barker's voice sounded somewhat listless, probably because he had been harassed all night.
“We also have partnerships with some media outlets, so it’s impossible for us to only have Ms. Maggie come for the interview.”
"Otherwise, I'll just tell the truth!"
Miss Maggie was already quite familiar with them, so she simply told her that Li Yanqing was completely drunk and that she would come over at another time tomorrow.
But it wasn't just her family...
"The last time I was this busy was when Ibrahimovic joined the team."
"I'll have to talk to Alger later, and he should let us know before he does these things!"
"Yes." Li Yanqing nodded.
They were caught completely off guard this time.
"It's okay, the media's enthusiasm only lasts a few days."
"It'll be fine once the hype dies down."
"As for Miss Maggie, you can leave her to me."
"There are also some media outlets that absolutely need to be invited; please arrange their schedules accordingly..."
Li Yanqing no longer plans to participate in today's training. Once he starts dealing with external affairs, he finds that these kinds of things just keep coming one after another.
"In addition, there is the most important point."
"No one is allowed to disturb my players!"
"You should have informed them, right?"
This is his rule; even Miss Maggie must notify him first, and then he will arrange for her to interview the player.
After all, he doesn't want the players to be constantly distracted.
"I've said that before."
"Otherwise, training yesterday afternoon wouldn't have been possible..."
Li Yanqing smiled as he listened to Barker's complaints.
He remembered what Will and Strange had said yesterday.
Maybe it will come true?
With Burton having its own people in charge, it's impossible for a player's talent to be wasted.
Murphy, Justin, and the others will definitely go through this step in the future.
Quinn, as the first young player to make a name for himself here, will set a good example.
Hopefully he can perform better...
At this moment, on Burton's training ground.
"Hey!"
"Supernova!"
"Watch my position!"
A training match is currently underway, and Ibrahimovic is somewhat dissatisfied with Quinn's performance.
I don't know what this kid is thinking, he keeps getting distracted.
"Okay, okay!" Quinn instinctively sent the ball into the open space in front of him, then awkwardly discovered that the ball had landed in an unoccupied area near the baseline.
Ibrahimovic was standing in the penalty area, looking at him with a helpless expression.
"sorry......"
Quinn admitted his mistake.
He was thinking about other things.
"Let's go off the field and rest for a bit."
“Let Lars Bender take your place.”
During the training matches, the teams were divided into two groups, A and B. The captain of Team B was Ibrahimovic.
This wasn't the first time, so he decisively replaced Quinn.
When Li Yanqing arrived, he saw the latter walking off the field looking dejected.
"what happened?"
He quickly went to Quinn's side, worried that recent events might have really affected the player's mentality.
"It's alright, boss. I was just a little distracted."
"Let me rest for a while."
"It'll be ready in a minute."
The player shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
"The FA Cup is about to start."
Do you still remember our goal?
"And there's something everyone's always wanted to do..."
Li Yanqing didn't say anything boastful, because you could tell from his expression that his midfield maestro remained very low-key.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to accept Ibrahimovic's decision to substitute him directly.
Training matches can directly affect whether you get to start in the next game.
"of course I remember."
“I’ve been thinking about tactics a lot lately.”
"So I got a little distracted."
Quinn then began to explain.
“My dad said that if I don’t behave well now, I’ll get scolded even more.”
"At the very least, we need to deliver a performance that will convince the fans..."
Hearing this, Li Yanqing completely swallowed his anger.
This silly boy has a hard time thinking about other things on his own initiative.
"Very well, then keep thinking about it."
"I probably won't be participating in training all day today."
"If you need anything, you can come to my office."
After confirming that Quinn was in good condition, Li Yanqing immediately went to the office.
Despite being a head coach for so long, dealing with the media is still not an easy task for him.
They are much harder to appease than the players.
But he still hasn't figured out how to answer Quinn's question.
Praising your own players risks being accused of wishful thinking, extortion, and simply wanting to sell them for a high price.
It's not his style to belittle players.
At this point, he actually hoped he was "Mourinho II".
I just start cursing whenever I encounter outrageous people or things.
Players, media, and referees alike.
No one can spout nonsense in front of him and then walk away unscathed.
However, the downside is that this leads to him being constantly targeted and harassed by the referees.
It is commonly known as "pulling the mountain".
While they won't openly engage in biased refereeing, they will certainly show favoritism towards the opponent within reasonable limits.
And no one can find fault with it.
Troublesome...
Just as Li Yanqing was racking his brains about how to deal with the media, on a certain airplane...
"Sir, isn't it a bit too early to do this?"
"Moreover, Quinn is our core player, and we will definitely not sell him."
“We had been invited by some top clubs before.”
Chris sat by the window, looking at Robinson with a somewhat incomprehensible expression.
“I’m not saying I’m going to sell him.”
"After all, we've already promised Li that it's up to him whether or not we sell him."
"It's his skill to keep him here."
"But given the team's current performance, it would be good to cultivate a few superstars to increase the team's revenue."
"Chris, I don't want to wait until I'm broke to do these things."
"Then we'll be the ones with the headaches..."
